Medical resident explains how dangerous Covid is even after you get vaccinated

By Gabija Jan

While last year lacked fun social gatherings due to the pandemic, many of us were allowed to relax these past few months, and many did. For some it was mass vaccine accessibility that provided the sense of security they needed to gather in real life again. However, the more contagious and potent Delta variant has spread, rendering current vaccines slightly less efficient in the fight to end the pandemic, which might turn your next tabletop game party into an online jackbox.tv one.

Seattle pediatric resident G. Sauza attended an outdoor wedding, and together with numerous other fully vaccinated guests, she left it infected and symptomatic. Sauza took to Twitter to warn others not to give in to a false sense of security.

The thread gained significant popularity and responses showed a lot of diversity: some said that since the Delta variant is so potent, the public needs to double down on protection, while others implied that the protections are meaningless at this point. Even celebrity immunologist and epidemiologist Michael Mina weighed in.
